Regional Sakrebulo, for example, considers obligatory teaching of
Georgian to small children as serious violation of the human rights. In

parallel to Georgian must first of all be solved in Javakhk, after

minorities' problems, helps the central authorities to implement the
political program." D.Rstakian said.
